Book Reviews of A Home at the End of the World: A Novel
Book Review: Master Storyteller
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe Michael Cunningham is a master storyteller. His ability to cinematically capture precise imagery is astounding. I first read The Hours and the A Home at the end of the World - both highly recommended. Cunningham has an astute gift for creating realistic and lovable characters and then folding them into each other so before we realize it a whole world has enveloped us. An incisive perspective on human sexuality and both the torment and ecstasy that come in its many variations.
Summary of A Home at the End of the World: A Novel
From Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours, comes this widely praised novel of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby, hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child. Then, when Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise "their" child together and, with an odd friend, Alice, create a new kind of family. A Home at the End of the World masterfully depicts the charged, fragile relationships of urban life today.Literary Books
